Important Update

Fall 2020 Remote Delivery

As the university is anticipating we still will be under physical distancing restrictions from public health authorities come September, we expect that all years of the Commerce program will be delivered remotely for the upcoming fall term.

This means online teaching and learning, as well as virtually-staged events and activities, career advancement services, networking opportunities, and more. Smith’s faculty and staff are already well underway in building a remote experience that reflects all the great hallmarks of the Commerce program — a deep understanding of business strategies and concepts, a tight sense of community, personal capacity building for leadership and teamwork, resilience, and more. We will maintain the highest quality of teaching and course content, and community experience.

For returning students, you will receive an email with more detail. Please also consult the Commerce program portal for regular updates in the lead-up to fall.

For the incoming Class of 2024, the Commerce team together with Queen’s Undergraduate Admissions will ensure you’re ready and fully prepared to start your four-year business immersion come September. We are looking forward to welcoming you into the Commerce family!
